Default Anyone Got a Cheap Valve Power Amp or Integrated Amp For Sale?

Why?


The problem associated with cheap valve amplifiers, is well known.
Output transformers. Output transformers completely dominate the
sound of valve amps. A quality output transformer will typically run
to around 200-500 Squid. And you need two of them.


What is it that makes the good ones cost so much?
